Open weight models are getting really good. Specko appears to be focussing on paid services which has its role to play but I have a benchmark in development for Open Weight models here if that is helpful: https://orcabot.com/benchmarks/open-weight-tts.

Still shoring up the details but you can try a sample of all the options and see how they compare in terms of model size, peak RSS, real time factor etc.
